	Black Islanders: Prince Edward Island's Historical Black Community by George Elliott Clarke (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While the history of fls in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick is generally known, that of the slave-founded community of Prince Edward Island has remained largely a mystery.
		Fortunately, Black Islanders: Prince Edward Island's Historical Black Community, a slim yet panoramic history by Jim Hornby, should increase knowledge of `African-Islanders,' to use Hornby's term, and, especially, of racism's three faces of structural ideology, social discrimination, and personal prejudice.
		Indeed, the most poignant aspect of the history of the African-Islanders is their near disappearance from the island because of, Hornby writes, `a combination of out-migration and assimilation.' In essence, then, this text chronicles the rise and fall or, more precisely, the flourishing and withering of the original, African-descended islanders.
